Nigezza Creates: Half Sheet Wonder Using Petal Promenade

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator

I am so glad you joined me today as I am really exited about this project. I wanted to design some projects around using 12" x 6" pieces of Designer Series Paper because I have been running a paper share and this is how I have cut the 12" x 12" sheets.

So I decided to see how many cards I could get from it, so this is a 'Half Sheet Wonder' instead of a OSW! I managed to get 6 cards and could probably have got a 7th as there was still some scraps left.

Materials and Measurements

Product List

Very Vanilla A4 Thick Cardstock

Used for the card bases
3 sheets, cut in half and scored in half
8 1/4" x 5 7/8"
Folded size
4 1/8" x 5 7/8"

Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper

Trimmed as per the diagram below
Basically 2 card mats were cut that measured
5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
there was a long strip and a shirt strip left over that I am sure I could have made another card out of!

Very Vanilla A4 Card Stock

Used to stamp the sentiments onto and die cut
I used less than a sheet - I actually used scraps I had

I used 3 colours to mat the DSP layer and the sentiment, these are the colours I chose

Mossy Meadow A4 Cardstock
Card Stock A4 Blushing Bride
Grapefruit Grove A4 Cardstock

less than half a sheet of each was used
A card mat was cut 1/4 of a standard sheet
4 1/8" x 5 7/8"
This was then trimmed slightly when I knew which DSP piece was being matted onto it
The other 1/4 sheet was used to die cut out the scallop layers for the sentiments

I used the matching inks for the card sock I had chosen apart from the pink as I had to substitute due to not having blushing bride!

These are the embossing folders I used but you could chose which ever you like or have

Powder Pink 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon

I think the colour worked well - used on 4 of the cards

Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies

All sentiments were die cut using which ever shape fitted best

Layering Ovals Framelits Dies
Layering Circle Framelits Dies

I cut scalloped shaped to mat the sentiments

These are the stamp sets I chose to use, but it is down to personal preference which you would like to use.

Time for the close ups!

I do hope you enjoyed that project, I love the Mossy Meadow one and the Blushing Bride one, I am not as keen on the Grapefruit Grove ones but that it probably because I am not as keen on that colour, I like the card composition though.

I would love to hear what you think and which you like the most :-)

I am now thrilled that I have a stock of wedding and anniversary cards.

I wil be back on Sunday with another project, until then ...

Happy Crafting!
